	How can anyone forget "Warm Leatherette"?  I first heard it in 
my dorm during my first semester of college.  The crazy dope freak
sophomore (perhaps I shouldn't call him crazy;last I heard he had
$10,000 worth of working capital tied up in his drug dealing) down the 
hall from me used to play it at top volume at 7am on a Saturday morning.
Drove everyone crazy.  The man responsible for the atrocity we know
as "Warm Leatherette"?  Iggy Pop, the same person who wrote the theme
for "Repo Man".  I like the movie theme much better...
